Out of reach 

Carl Reichert crafted this scene, "Out of Reach," capturing a tableau rich with symbols of the hunt. Observe how the dachshunds strain, their gaze fixed on the out-of-reach hare, suspended above them. The hare itself is an ancient symbol, often linked to cycles of nature, fertility, and vulnerability. We see echoes of this in medieval tapestries, where the hunt signifies both nobility and the primal dance of predator and prey. Yet, here, the hare's lifelessness introduces a somber note, a memento mori perhaps, reminding us of life's fragility. Consider, too, the hunting rifle casually draped over the chair, a tool of dominion, yet rendered impotent by the dogs' hopeful anticipation. Such scenes evoke a deep-seated, collective memory, tapping into our own complex relationship with nature and our desires. The longing in the dachshunds' eyes, an emotional resonance, reminding us of our own aspirations forever just beyond our grasp. These images, then, are not merely representations but cyclical recurrences of human experience.
